Artists of the Month & New Artists

Artists of the Month: April 2026

Michael Nail

Michael is a lifelong New Mexico resident and has lived in Las Cruces from an early age, but until his recent retirement from the City of Las Cruces as a senior construction inspector did not have the time to pursue his passion full time. He works primarily in pencil, charcoal, and ink, finding Western, Native American and wildlife themes the subjects to which he is most drawn.

Yvonne Postelle

Yvonne works primarily in oils as a landscape painter. The love of art has been a constant passion for as long as she can remember. She retired from the business world in 1989, to pursue her art. She has attended extensive art classes and workshops, and has exhibited regularly in both group and juried shows and has served in different capacities in local art associations.

New Gallery Artist

Lisa Magnano

Lisa is an El Paso-based artist. She previously studied and worked as a biologist and a physical therapist. She began to explore her creative side during a stay-at-home mother phase. She worked with clay and jewelry-making including lapidary, silversmithing and casting, and volunteered teaching at the El Paso Mineral and Gem Club. However, once she discovered the luminous beauty of fused glass and the endless possibilities for creativity, it became her preferred medium.
